We keep hearing the same complaints about horse showing: For all but the uber wealthy, many of the competitions have gotten too expensive — dealing with high entry fees and add-ons, while the cost of being away from home for five or six days has skyrocketed,
A new show series at Los Angeles Equestrian Center is geared to handling those concerns under the direction of Steve Hankin, who transformed California’s Desert International Horse Park during his five years as CEO. (Click here to read a story about that).
Steve, who departed DIHP last July, has come up with a new venture, Pacific Ridge Show Jumping, nine regional and national shows to run from April through October. The include fixtures of three, four and five days.
“There are always conversations about the regional horse show, will it work? commented Steve.
He is convinced that one place it will work is at LAEC, a 75-acre city-owned facility in Griffith Park. It has a 3,500-seat arena, 13 other rings, 500 stalls for boarders and nearly that many for horses competing in shows at the Burbank site.

“The notion of being at your home barn and saying, `My horse is going great, let’s put him in the ring for two or three days at a cost that’s not significant,’ is really cool. A home venue vs. an away venue cuts your costs in half right away. There are some interesting ways the facility can evolve and play a role in the sport in California,” said Steve, who has a reputation as a visionary.
“What’s been interesting is the reaction, how great people’s memories are of what LAEC was and how much they are excited about prospects for it to return to its glory. People everywhere, people around the country. have called about it.”
Steve, who lives 10 minutes from LAEC, said he is at “the intersection of two things that matter to me — doing something at home and doing something for the sport.”
At some point, Pacific Ridge may host FEI shows, perhaps even a World Cup qualifier, but now the focus is on the 2026 offerings.
“This is a start, there’s lots more that can happen,” said Steve. He will be working with Adrienne Karazissis, who has had experience in management with the West Palms shows, some of which were held at LAEC.
“We’re starting small. We’ve got a lot to learn about the place. It’s a journey very much unlike Thermal (DIHP),” he observed. But Steve explained, “you don’t have pressure the first day to make something big. People are excited. They want to support it, and I think we’ll learn. I never thought about what it meant to have an urban facility.”
“You have so many horses within an hour (drive). To be so close to so many horses, it can take on the feel of a home facility and it can be used in different ways than a traditional facility because of that.”
LAEC has been run by ASM Global, which was bought by Legends Global, a company involved with sports and entertainment.
While noting ASM “made good progress over the last couple of years,” Steve is eager to implement improvements at LAEC.
“The place is in need of serious work, everyone knows that. The things I focus on first are stabling and footing, and we’re trying to figure out how to have at least some impact on those in the short period of time we have before we can start our shows,” he noted.
He and his wife, Lisa, are personally involved with horses. She recently took a four-year-old to compete in lower-level jumper classes at DIHP.
“I really want to contribute to the sport still and I really want to do it in LA,” said Steve.
“It’s fresh, it’s new, it’s different. It’s fun to think about the challenges the people talk about in the sport and how do you solve it? People want a change. You hear it in the conversation everywhere you go. The question is, are they going to like what the change is?”
“If you can offer a quality three-day horse show that can help people qualify, it’s a great product, especially in an urban setting. It doesn’t work everywhere. It’s got to be a great experience in every dimension. I’m optimistic.”

What’s the best thank you for saving a life?
Sally Walker, whose horse was freed from a dangerous situation by determined rescuers, decided she wanted to do something that could help many more large animals in trouble. Her gratitude is reflected in a GoFundMe she started to buy specialized equipment for making rescue easier and more effective.
The drama began when her 27-year-old Arabian/warmblood-cross gelding, Teddy, was grazing peacefully at the edge of a pond in his pasture at Heronwood Farm in Bedminster, N.J., last November. The pond was lower than usual because of autumn’s drought conditions, and he wound up stuck in the mud at its edges, unable to move back to solid ground.

Farm owner Rachel Rosenthal Bellard rushed over to the pasture Teddy had used without incident for 15 years. She found he was up to his chest in the muck.
“I tried to rouse him,” she recalled, but “he made an effort and then plopped down.”
She sought help, realizing the horse couldn’t get out on his own, and that rigging a tractor to pull him out herself wouldn’t work.
“I called 911 immediately and I think if I did anything right, that was it,” Rachel recounted.
“I had no idea the response that was gong to come when I dialed 911.”
The police arrived quickly, along with her neighbor Tom Lynch, a member of the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire department. Bedminster Township sent over a backhoe.
“Within 20 minutes, there were 43 volunteers here, I had eight firetrucks from different departments parked on my driveway,” Rachel said.
Then neighboring Hunterdon County’s Technical Rescue Task Force was called in.
“Those guys were the ones who really knew what to do,” said Rachel.
Standing by her horse’s head to comfort him, Sally recalled, “It looked like he had just sunk. It was almost like he went down in quicksand. He was well and truly stuck.”
She knows her presence helped reassure him, and offered advice for anyone who finds their horse in a difficult situation.
“My words of wisdom are, don’t underestimate how your horse knows and trusts you, and your presence is critical.”
She was thankful for the presence of Alex Eristavi of the Somerset County Emergency Training Academy, who stayed with her and “kept reminding me that Teddy knew I was there.”
Rachel said, “Alex was the guy who was telling everybody what to do, he was calming Sally.” She noted with a smile, “It was like he’d done this before.”
Teddy was covered with blankets as rescuers worked on that chilly day. While he looked okay from the surface, the concern was what couldn’t be seen below the waterline.
“Nobody would say it out loud, but all I could think of was, `Did he have a broken leg?’ ” Rachel recalled.
The rescuers put large flat hoses behind Teddy’s elbows and in front of his stifles, then set up an A-frame and used a hand winch to very slowly lift him out.
Formerly an eventing mount for Doug Payne, Teddy has been owned for 15 years by Sally, an amateur rider who had competed with him in the low-level jumpers and called him “the love of my life.” She said he is “the horse everybody wants to go on the trail with, because he reacts to nothing.”
Standing by as Teddy finally was lifted out, she acknowledged being “very scared, because of his age and the circumstances.”
Once extricated, her horse scrambled, was able to stand for a moment and then lay down, exhausted, cold and in shock. He lay there for a couple of minutes until, after being encouraged, he finally got up. and walked to the barn, where his legs were sprayed with warm water, while a kerosene heater raised the temperature. He spent a few days recovering at Running S Equine Veterinary Services before coming home, where he is awaiting his next trail ride when the weather cooperates.
If rescuers had not been on the scene, Teddy’s fate “would have been much bleaker,” according to veterinarian Travis Bowers of Running S, who consulted with the rescue team.
“It wasn’t just that he was stuck in a pond; it was very deep. There was a lot of thought and equipment that went into removing him from the mud without causing too much suction damage. It was very crucial that we had all the equipment that they brought.”
Without that, it would have become much more of an extreme emergency situation. but because they were there so quickly …without the crews that did show up, I’m not sure it would have been accomplished. It was very well put together.”
While the improvised hose tubing was wide enough so it didn’t cause a lot of pressure, Travis noted, “when you’re trying to pick up a 1,000-pound plus animal on a hoist set-up, you do worry about too much pressure on their internal organs, so a sling would distribute the weight better. ”
This image, courtesy of the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department, shows how the hose was used, and why the sling sought through the GoFundMe would be better suited to the job.
Public Safety Director/Hunterdon County Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Brayden Fahey said one of the pieces of equipment being sought through Sally’s GoFundMe is a sling that would integrate with existing technical rescue equipment. It is specifically designed for horses and costs $3,112.
Situations where such a sling is needed for rescues is “pretty common, at least in Hunterdon” where there is a lot of agriculture. “We have maybe half a dozen of these (calls) a year,” Brayden said.
Having the right gear “insures that we’re doing it in the safest manner possible, with equipment that’s specifically intended for that purpose,” he noted.
The other piece of equipment sought through the GoFundMe is a large animal relocator sked that costs $2,819.
“We have those for humans,” said Brayden, explaining it is “a rigid piece of plastic. We can package someone in and slide them a distance.”
It’s tailored for large animals, so they can be moved across the ground without lifting them.
Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Chief Jason Groendyk noted, “The coordination between the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department and the mutual aid departments that were requested with both Somerset and Hunterdon County Office of Emergency Management, shows how volunteers in this area are committed to training and supporting their communities.”
He mentioned that members of his department last year took a class on large animal rescue. Other agencies responding included the Peapack and Gladstone Fire Department, Flemington Rescue, Whitehouse Rescue and South Branch Fire and Rescue.
In the wake of what happened at her facility, Rachel suggested farm owners pay attention to the water resources on their property, if animals have access to them. For her part, she is now fencing in the pond.
Rachel expressed her gratitude for the rescuers, saying she is thankful “for living in a community where people come. If I was out in the middle of nowhere, we would have lost this horse.”
“I had no idea the response that was gong to come when I dialed 911. Everyone who came stayed until the end. They were learning and helping any way they could. It was an amazing thing to see. Most of the volunteers were not horse people, they were just wanting to help.”
A month after his trauma, Teddy was back to his old self for the holidays. (Photo courtesy Sally Walker).
As Sally noted, “We are so incredibly lucky to have this kind of service in New Jersey. There are so many different incidents that could happen.
“And you never know,” she pointed out.
When it comes to needing help, “one day it could be you.”

The price of showing has become an ever-more urgent issue for equestrians, who all too often must limit their opportunities to compete because it is growing increasingly expensive.
For some, word last year that the U.S. Equestrian Federation would be raising fees was, if not the last straw, news of another financial obligation they didn’t need. Although the fees are not as burdensome as what it costs to compete in a licensed show, the increase made some feel the federation is not sensitive to their needs and situation.
Hunter/jumper judge Mary O’Connor, a Virginia horse breeder, called it “ironic” that after raising fees, USEF made competition costs the focus of a forum at the organization’s annual meeting this week.
She noted USEF “has solicited comments from membership on this topic, when no opinions were sought and no discussion took place with membership before USEF announced that fees would be increasing.”
To read another story about how people are coping with horse industry issues, click here or go to the second feature on this website.
Mary called the hike “extreme,” adding it comes “at a time when the general membership is reeling from increased costs for everything associated with keeping horses,” and as such, “only serves to exacerbate the problem of rising cost.”
She started a petition asking USEF “to consider rolling back or limiting the size of those fee increases, which are far too steep in the current economy.”
The petition got more than 550 signatures and thousands of views.
She contended, “USEF is about to price even more people out of sanctioned equestrian sport, with zero discussion or feedback from its membership. The costs of entering a USEF show continue to rise, making participation in the sport at any level more and more expensive. It has become a struggle to justify the expense of competing!
“Rather than increase fees, let’s consider cutting back USEF’s budget, taking a hard look at which programs are genuinely necessary, and streamline staffing in a way that makes sense. Do we really need 23 people in the Marketing department vs. seven in Member Services? Salaries should be open to discussion when across the board everyone else from grooms to licensed officials are asked to do more for less on a regular basis.”
Reacting to the petition, USEF Director of Communication Natalie Voss wrote to Mary, “The response to our increase in membership fees is precisely why we wanted to include this panel in our annual meeting slate. The vast majority of member response to the fee increase — including your petition — make clear that increased costs are not just an issue USEF experiences, or that our members experience with regards to USEF membership fees, but is part of a broader change in the costs of horsekeeping and putting on a horse show, which is impacting the whole industry.”
She explained USEF officials are “hoping the panel can shed some light on what the factors are influencing that rise in costs for them and how that translates for competitors.”
Following the meeting, a summary and recording of the session will be released, Natalie said.
The petition maintained, “The stated fee increases are extreme. That our sport is reliant on the ultra wealthy often masks the reality that many who are involved in it are barely sustaining themselves. Those who exist in the real world, whether boarding our horses or keeping them on private farms or operating training facilities, must stop to analyze every dime spent on feed, hay, bedding, farrier, vet, farm staff, lessons, attire, equipment, safety gear, transport, and hotels, all while endlessly attempting to conjure up savings that are more and more difficult to find.
“The ultra wealthy among us won’t be bothered about fees going up,” the petition notes.
“But the multitude of local and regional trainers, riders, families, and lesson stables are already being driven away from a sport we all love, not to mention breeders and those working with young horses, already facing the highest expenses worldwide to develop their offspring.”

The Global Champions Tour show jumping held in Liberty State Park, with the sparkling New York City skyline as a backdrop, was a huge hit last September.
It attracted an enthusiastic group of spectators, many of whom had never seen the sport before. After the final class, organizers were optimistic about bringing the competition back in 2026. But the venue is not on this year’s GCT schedule, which includes a Cairo, Egypt, location for the first time. Miami Beach, a regular stop that wasn’t held in 2025 because of scheduling issues, is back on the calendar and will be the tour’s only U.S. competition.
The absence of the New Jersey location is disappointing. Many of those attending hoped to return to a spot in the grandstand in 2026, while others who saw coverage wanted to attend in person. But they may be able to do that next year.

“The inaugural event was a great success, and we remain very much committed to returning in the future. We continue to maintain a close and positive dialogue with the Liberty State Park authorities and are currently looking ahead to 2027,” Colm McKay, GCT’s technical director, told me on Wednesday.
“Unfortunately,” he explained, “the reason the event will not take place this year is due to the FIFA (soccer) World Cup, with Liberty State Park being designated as a major fan zone. While the tournament (at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.) itself will conclude later in the summer, there remain significant uncertainties around ground conditions and venue availability following such large-scale use. Without the necessary guarantees, it was not possible for us to proceed this year.”
However, he added, “Looking ahead, we have some exciting new ideas planned for our return, building on the strong foundation established at the first edition. In the meantime, our focus turns to delivering an outstanding event in Miami Beach this April, which continues to be a very popular destination with athletes, owners, and fans alike.”
Stay tuned…

After five years, the Maryland 5-star three-day event at Fair Hill established itself as a well-respected fixture, attracting a healthy entry for its accompanying 3-star division, as well as good crowds for cross-country day tailgating and the show jumping finale, in addition to other competitions and activities.
But the number of horses competing in the featured 5-star itself has been lighter in its recent editions, down to 22 entries last October. While it brought in 32,000 spectators in 2025 and gained $18 million for the state’s economy, the event was projected at one time to have an impact of $30 million and 80,000 spectators..

Michael Frenz, executive director of the Maryland Stadium authority said initially of the Maryland 5 Star, “all involved are committed to maintaining the tradition and legacy of this important event.” But he did not reply when asked if that meant the 5-star would continue. He also did not respond to questions about the departures of Hasseltine and Newman, saying that was a personnel matter. The Sports and Entertainmen Corp. of Maryland, which ran the 5-star, now has no employees.
David O’Connor, the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s chief of sport, said last month he was “blindsided” by word that Hasseltine and Newman were gone.
“We don’t understand what happened, why everybody’s left. We’ve not been party to the conversations or given any heads up,” said O’Connor, the USA’s only Olympic eventing individual gold medalist (Sydney/2000).
“We’ll be calling there trying to figure out whether they are looking to continue. That would be a big question for the sport and for us. As of now, we don’t know if that’s their intention or they’re just replacing the staff,” O’Connor continued.
The 5-star is the discipline’s ultimate test, but “The number of 5-star horses has gone down kind of around the world,” O’Connor noted. Although Great Britain’s famed Badminton 5-star fielded 82 starters last spring, it no longer had a waiting list. And the USA’s other 5-star, Defender Kentucky, had just 34 starters.
“Is it great to have another 5-star? Absolutely,” O’Connor said.
“But we have to look at what’s happening worldwide.”
Caroline Pamukcu, who finished fourth in the Fair Hill 5-star with her 2024 Olympic horse, HSH Blake (and eleventh with HSH Tolan King), is a “huge fan”of the (Maryland) event. She explained, “We’re so lucky to have two 5-stars in the country. I love the event. I hope we will continue to have two 5-stars.
Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake in the 5-star.
“I think the 5-star is a really important part of our sport. Going 5-star really helps prep me and my horses for big championships”
Is the schedule too crowded? Pamukcu doesn’t believe that’s the case.
“When you do the schedule, you do whatever suits your horses. If you think the U.S. Open is better for you and your horse, you can do that. But then the great thing about our country is you can also pick a 5-star, if you think that would suit you and your horse. You pick and choose what’s best for you and best for your horse. That’s horsemanship.”
Maryland has attracted top riders from Europe over the years, including Oliver Townend, Harry Meade (now ranked world number one) and this year, Switzerland’s Felix Vogg, the winner on Cartania, who came to the competition with the help of a travel grant.

O’Connor called the Maryland fixture “a great weekend of eventing, with all of the things they have there. The 5-star is only one piece of it. You would hope it would be worthwhile for them to continue to run it. But I have no idea what their thinking is.”
Hasseltine told me at this year’s event that he was looking for a calendar adjustment for the 5-star after wondering, “How do we get back to having 40-plus 5-star (entries)?
There were 45 entries at the first Maryland 5-Star in 2021, but that was a different time, following the Covid shutdown, when the idea of participating in a brand new event was intriguing.
Hasseltine said he was seeking “serious conversations” with the U.S. Equestrian Federation and the FEI (international equestrian federation) “about logistics leading up to our event. Are we on the right calendar environment, are we sitting in the perfect space to make sure we can have bigger fields or grow our competition level?”
The USEF scheduled its first U.S. Open of eventing, a 4-star, at Morven Park in Virginia right before Fair Hill. And the week after the 5-star, there was another in Pau, France, that attracted top European talent. The juxtaposition of the events obviously concerned Hasseltine.
Joanie Morris, the competition manager for Fair Hill, last fall was announced as the CEO of the Aiken Horse Park Foundation in South Carolina. Her departure had nothing to do with the other changes involving the 5-star.

People are waking up to major crises throughout the horse industry and wondering how to handle them.
You read it on social media; you hear about it when you’re at the horse show, or getting coffee at spots in Wellington, Ocala, or Lexington; anywhere near locations that attract riders, trainers, horse owners, grooms and others associated with horse sport.
The cost of showing and horse-keeping is not sustainable across the board these days. Are there solutions for those who aren’t wealthy or sponsored?
And in the bigger picture, are there places to go for those who yearn to start riding? Many facilities offering programs for beginners and non-horse owners have shut down under economic or land development pressure. Where will the base of the sport come from now?
Canadian stable owner Jenna Rogerson has been well aware of the situation, not only from her personal experience, but also from what others are going through.
“In our area, there’s been numerous farms that are shutting their riding schools down completely. I’ve been getting two and three times as many calls weekly as I used to for lessons,” the Ontario resident said.
At her Skyland Stables, she noted, “I don’t offer a riding school. We have a competitive show program. So unfortunately, it’s not a service I provide. People ask me where they should go. It’s difficult to refer them, Even places currently operating have long waiting lists.
“With the current economic climate in Canada and the U.S. I think it’s going to become worse,” she predicted.
So Jenna turned to Facebook in late December, starting a post called Equine Industry Solutions that seeks answers from those actively involved, rather than people sitting behind a desk in an office somewhere.
The photo accompanying Jenna’s post makes a powerful statement about a major problem. The picture came from a friend of Jenna’s who had a riding school for more than 20 years, and also runs a show program. The shot (featured above) shows a bunch of empty saddle racks that are for sale.
“At first, I thought nothing of it,” said Jenna about her initial glance when her friend put the photo on line. Then she noticed each saddle rack was leaning against a wall beneath labels that read “school horse number three” and “school horse number 4.”
“I realized it was all the racks from her riding school closing down,” Jenna recounted.
She felt prompted to share that photo
“It did have a big impact for sure,” she said.
Thousands of people now are paying attention to her posting that seeks solutions. Trainers, barn operators and riding school instructors from across Canada and the U.S. are telling their stories, either on the Facebook site or in emails to Jenna, who has worked as a professional with her own business since 2008. A nationally certified coach who has managed horse shows and clinics, she’s a 39-year-old mother of two girls who is reaching out to help.
Those posting often are offering ideas and suggestions for how they try to solve their challenges. People give advice about ways of handling the problems they face as they attempt to keep their businesses going.
The process involves members of the industry relying on each other, rather than large organizations or governing bodies, to find ways that can make their businesses work.
“Ideas can get shared and hopefully, help each other out. I don’t know how far we’ll go with it, but we can try. It’s a little bit organic at the moment,” said Jenna.
Jenna Rogerson
She has some sessions pending with lawyers who are lobbying for different tax strategies that can help horsemen and women.
“I don’t exactly know what will come of it yet and maybe nothing; but maybe great things. But it’s a step in the right direction (rather than) doing nothing.”
There has been discussion about riding schools like those overseas with a club structure. However, in that regard, “too many cooks in the kitchen was one phrase that came up. It’s not a common way that we applied in North America previously,” Jenna pointed out.
“I don’t know if that’s something that would come to fruition in regard to more of a community-based program.”
She noted, “There were discussions about turning to more non-profit organizations so that donations are possible; school horses can be donated, a little more access to affordable horses than we have traditionally found.”
Jenna has a virtual-based side business called The Next Stride. She has worked with professionals and done business reviews for them. She also helps riders virtually if they are located in more remote areas where coaching is harder to find.
“The Next Stride bridges the gap between where clients are now and where they want to be next—providing clarity, accountability and a proven framework to achieve sustainable improvement. It’s applicable to riders or equine business owners,” Jenna explains.
In the process of doing that, she noted, “The same weaknesses seemed to come up with every equine business owner I helped. They were under-charging and operating in the red every month, while losing money in areas they didn’t even know about. Some (are) even considering selling or closing.”
As she pointed out, “If businesses close down and there’s suddenly a mass of available horses, what’s going to happen to them? That’s going to be a big problem.”
Here’s part of the issue: “There’s a lack of business education within our industry for people operating businesses.”
On the plus side, the Facebook site also includes “people who do have businesses, who are certified accountants. They’re providing spreadsheets They’re providing different financial insights. It’s allowing more access to education and resources. I think that in itself is going to be very helpful.”
She mentioned someone on Facebook who offered a spreadsheet for a businessperson to enter profit and loss.
“You can put your own numbers throughout it and see where your business is sitting. Where are you making money, where are you losing money? As simple as that sounds, many people don’t do that.”
Simply pinning down the numbers “can start educating people on where their businesses need to change.”
Looking at other Facebook postings from professionals, under-charging seems to be a constant theme that puts professional stable operators at a huge disadvantage in terms of keeping their operations going.
The cost per lesson has to go up in order for many of the businesses to survive. From Jenna’s perspective, she has found what she called two conflicting sides; one involves those making a living and supporting their families with a horse business, while others are creating access to horses and more availability for people of varying economic status to be able to ride.
“That’s a goal for their business, even if it’s a loss to themselves,” said Jenna.
Ontario Equestrian reached out to her to try to understand some of the key talking points people have mentioned on her page, in case there are any initiatives with which they can help.
Her eventual plan, which she has yet to formally announce, is to create a panel for the U.S. and Canada. It would have representatives from various disciplines, including western and hunter/jumper, as well as riding for the disabled, non-profits and trainers from show barns. Then people who are within the group can go to those representatives to bring up concerns.
As things get more organized over the next month, Jenna envisions, “those panels could move forward and speak to the larger governing bodies, like Equestrian Canada and USEF. It’s important to me that it’s people who are willing to work as a group and ideally have some business background.”
Although she has yet to formally announce it, the approach would be more person to person, than person to organization. As Jenna noted, “the organizations have so much red tape.” That can make it difficult for them to react quickly. And she noted that since Equestrian Canada has government funding, it can’t lobby the government for changes.
“So we can be more forward-moving and in your face if we want change, especially if we’re representing a large chunk of the industry who need changes.”
Jenna added, “I don’t know how open the organizations will be to hearing us,” but she’s optimistic. The trainer pointed out that the organizations don’t have the ability to speak to these people “the same way we can openly in our groups.”
She is forthright about her effort, noting, “I’ve never started up some type of organization on my own.”
There really isn’t a choice for Jenna, though.
“If I’m not going to do it, who is at this point? I’m hoping I get somewhere with it and can make some meaningful change, or at least provide avenues that will down the road lead to some changes that people need.”
